And superheroes come to feast
Oct. 3rd, 2010 09:47 pmI attended J. Cannibal's Feast of Flesh last night, with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kdsorceress and some friends from Scottish dancing (notably the Scannell sisters and Laurie S.). I had a heck of a time — even more fun than last year's, which I apparently neglected to write about. The evening included:kdsorceress home on my bike, and as we were hugging goodnight, a little after 1AM, a young Asian-Brazilian woman in a short dress and stockings interrupted us, timidly, with a flood of apologies. She'd just come from a party, and she'd lost her keys, and her phone was dead, and she had to work in the morning...help? I gave her my coat while we brainstormed, and in the end I boosted kdsorceress up so she could wriggle in through the young woman's open window and unlock her door from the inside, which earned her the title Spiderwoman. (I am the superhero sidekick, apparently.) We left on a tide of thank-yous, with hugs, and flowers in our buttonholes. (Just doin' our job, ma'am.)
kdsorceress and some friends from Scottish dancing (notably the Scannell sisters and Laurie S.). I had a heck of a time — even more fun than last year's, which I apparently neglected to write about. The evening included:- Sci-fi thrash-core music! Or something! (I can't keep track of genres.) Planetoid played loud music in sci-fi outfits with scantily-clad hula hoopers dancing around them. Imagine Man...or Astro-Man? doing hardcore grunge instead of surf music.
- Horror burlesque! The three acts were: a zombie ballet, an Alien-based spacesuit striptease (with facehugger and chestburster), and a brilliantly hot Bowie-drag striptease to Magic Dance from Labyrinth. She had the giant platinum blonde thistledown wig, faux contact-juggling balls, and...something...down the front of her leather pants. Said something was revealed at the end to be a large cucumber, which she took a bite from and threw into the audience. Disgust-o-sexy!
- A zombie costume contest! Among the finalists were a zombie mermaid who had to be carried around the stage, a girl with an axe in her head who shpritzed everyone within reach with Axe body spray (generating the most authentic horror of the night), and (the ultimate victor) a zombie in a Dunkin' Donuts uniform: "America runs on braaaaaains!"
- Night of the Creeps! I forgot how much I liked this 80s meta-horror comedy. It has a lot of clever touches, but never rises above its proper B-movie roots. The audience was in the perfect mood for it.
